please do not edit your question. It is more appropriate to post your follow up comment if you need to add any further info about your question.
Just tried to search for the file from your logical hdd using the search option. IMHO, the boot.ini doesnt exist if you are running in a single os (win2000 only). I am not sure of it. But if it does exist, you should be there like what i have mention

tomzhang3m, the boot.ini file doesn't record anything, it just determines how the system will boot and nothing more.
Is there something in particular you are looking for, such as a log file or event logging etc?

Yes, I can't find the boot.ini in a single windows 2000 system. I confuse how can I edit the text "Windows 2000 professional" on the boot screen.
Thanks all for the previous comments.

What screen that you are refering to. Is it from the win2000 os loader? It is in boot.ini.
